How can I add Wordpress plugin hook to index.php? - php

Question

I'm using a plugin called Category Thumbnail list. I normally would place the hook [categorythumbnaillist 100] on my Wordpress pages. How can I add this to an actual php page?
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/categoy-thumbnail-list/
Plugin code:
$categoryThumbnailList_Order = stripslashes( get_option( 'category-thumbnail-list_order' ) );
if ($categoryThumbnailList_Order == '') {
$categoryThumbnailList_Order = 'date';
}
$categoryThumbnailList_OrderType = stripslashes( get_option( 'category-thumbnail-list_ordertype' ) );
if ($categoryThumbnailList_OrderType == '') {
$categoryThumbnailList_OrderType = 'DESC';
}
$categoryThumbnailList_Path = get_option('siteurl')."/wp-content/plugins/categoy-thumbnail-list/";
define("categoryThumbnailList_REGEXP", "/\[categorythumbnaillist ([[:print:]]+)\]/");
define("categoryThumbnailList_TARGET", "###CATTHMBLST###");
function categoryThumbnailList_callback($listCatId) {
global $post;
global $categoryThumbnailList_Order;
global $categoryThumbnailList_OrderType;
$tmp_post = $post;
$myposts = get_posts('numberposts=-1&&category='.$listCatId[1].'&&orderby='.$categoryThumbnailList_OrderType.'&&order='.$categoryThumbnailList_Order);
$output = '<div class="categoryThumbnailList">';
foreach($myposts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
$link = get_permalink($post->ID);
$thmb = get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID,'thumbnail');
$title = get_the_title();
$output .= '<div class="categoryThumbnailList_item">';
$output .= '' .$thmb . '<br/>';
$output .= '' .$title . '';
$output .= '</div>';
}
endforeach;
/*
$output .= '</div>';
$output .= '<div class="categoryThumbnailList_clearer"></div>';
return ($output);
$output = '';
$post = $tmp_post;
setup_postdata($post);
*/
$output .= '</div>';
$output .= '<div class="categoryThumbnailList_clearer"></div>';
$post = $tmp_post;
wp_reset_postdata();
return ($output);
$output = '';
}
function categoryThumbnailList($content) {
return (preg_replace_callback(categoryThumbnailList_REGEXP, 'categoryThumbnailList_callback', $content));
}
function categoryThumbnailList_css() {
global $categoryThumbnailList_Path;
echo "
<style type=\"text/css\">
#import url(\"".$categoryThumbnailList_Path."categoy-thumbnail-list.css\");
</style>
";
}
add_action('wp_head', 'categoryThumbnailList_css');
add_filter('the_content', 'categoryThumbnailList',1);
?>

i think you want to add short-code in template file. place this line in your index.php
<?php echo do_shortcode( '[categorythumbnaillist 100]' ); ?>
